Decoding device with multi-buffers and decoding method thereof

Abstract

A decoding device includes a variable-length decoding circuit, a first buffer, a second buffer and a DC/AC prediction circuit is disclosed. The variable length decoding circuit decodes a first block and a second block from a compressed media stream. The first and second buffers are electrically coupled with the variable-length decoding circuit to store the first block and the second blocks, respectively. The DC/AC prediction circuit is electrically coupled with the first buffer and the second buffer. The DC/AC prediction circuit may read the first block from the first buffer when the second buffer is storing the second block.
